Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Ten_Titans]

He didn’t coach close to that many game here.

Yeah I'm an idiot

 

[mr.checkerboards]

I don't like him either, but trying to get on board.

Doing my best to research the Vanderbilt stuff to see if and how he was involved.

Nope. I will gladly walk away if he becomes official.

 

[Smokeyshowl66]

Well this is interesting. I’ve only ever associated boosters as advocating for schools, never thought of them as working on behalf of agents or even specific coaches.

There's alot of quid pro quo that goes on.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

SF’s post reads like it’s snagged.

Hopefully it stays that way

 

[DustyRockSolid]

I sure got him good.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

I don’t like Franklin but if he agrees to be the HC then whatever.

I’ll cheer for the players.

 

[Ashevolle]

Don't mind me. I'm an idiot

Try 30-21

 

[jakez4ut]

Then the insiders, media types, and admin (Boyd & Plowman) need to stop talking out of their ass and providing false hope. Don't say "we're hiring a proven winner and this isn't the place to learn on the job" just to turn around and hire a coordinator.

lol...the narrative going on here today, and yesterday and the day before...is some choice folks running wild with a speculative opinion and crapping all over it....then flies show up, and boom. here we are. lol.

 

[johnfnkelly]

Names please.

James Franklin.

Matt Campbell

Big boy hires.

 

[volsnvikes]

Lyle was 34-27 at UT.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

SF...

Please be true

 

[KeyVol14]

Hopefully it stays that way

So you’d rather have sonny dykes?

 

[HankHill]

Butch Jones was 61-34 here.

I don't think some of you grasp how many guaranteed wins there are at a P5 school that recruits itself when you are discussing records.

Math is off but his point is spot on.

-4 OOC (3 cupcakes / 1 decent to great)
-vandy
-Kentucky/sc/mizzou
-occasional down west draw.

Let’s stop acting like it takes an act of god to make bowl games here.

 

[Aesius]

I absolutely hated James Franklin with a passion at Vandy. More than Spurrier in the 90s, probably. I think he would win here but his personality is truly awful. It might be different if he hadn't been at Vandy when we were terrible under Dooley.

 

[JFBanicki]

it's from yesterday. it hasn't been updated. Feldman is just bumping it, which may be a sign that he's hearing one of the guys he discussed is close to taking the job.

Or DW has had people reach out to all the media people putting out the low level names and negatives stories on the coaching search and flat out told them to change the stories or be denied access to the program in the future.

 

[GoBigOrangeUT]

Doing my best to research the Vanderbilt stuff to see if and how he was involved.

You think Penn State coming off of a massive rape scandal wouldn’t have immediately removed him if he was implicated? Or that we wouldn’t have vetted him?

 

[drvenner]

No Rodney Garner even if we keep Steele?



That's Jeeker. He's been calling for George Quarles to be at least the OC at Tennessee for ten years now. For once, I'd be willing to find him a spot.

Basilio has the best callers, hands down. Does Clone still make appearances on his show?

 

[TrippieRedd]

I don’t like Franklin but if he agrees to be the HC then whatever.

I’ll cheer for the players.

I will probably wait a year or 2 before I buy season tix again.

 

[tvolsfan]

Franklin is a Pennsylvania guy. This just doesn’t seem believable.

You're gonna find where he contacted the victim. The victim helped the football team with hosting recruits. There was never any wrongdoing found against Franklin which is why I don't understand why people say he helped cover anything up. He never asked her or a football player to lie. I don't get it.

 

[Kingston Vol]

Nope. I will gladly walk away if he becomes official.

I can't say I won't be going with you - just trying to wrap my head around it before freaking out.

 

[james_govols]

If it's Franklin, I'll do my own research on his character.

It's easy to crucify someone without knowing any factual information about his past.

 

[jpope9]

if its Franklin, atleast all the assistant coaches will have hot wives!

 

[ATC_VOL]

I don’t like Franklin but if he agrees to be the HC then whatever.

I’ll cheer for the players.

I calmed down some on my Franklin hatred. Still don’t like him. I can learn to not hate him at least though.

Maybe

 

[mr.checkerboards]

So you’d rather have sonny dykes?

Yes. Franklin is 1 of 3 coaches I will not support. The other 2 being Schiano and B Kelly
